Cimmerian

The Cimmerians are a hardy, strong people, often mistaken for barbarians due to their simple lifestyles and tribal culture. While they tend to be raiders, they are honorable, and highly respect strong warriors and peoples who oppose them in battle. They live harsh lives in the north of Hyborea, in the mountains and valleys where the cold never really leaves, and this harsh living breeds hard people.
